The Bible is truly a remarkable book. It's a collection of 66 writings that were penned by more than 40 authors on three continents over a period of 1500 years. The Bible has been translated into hundreds of languages—far more than any other book. It has had a profound lasting influence on humanity for more than 2000 years and remains the number one selling book in the world every single year. It addresses life's most controversial questions (Does God exist? And if so, what is He like? Why do people exist? What happens to people after they die? Why is there evil and suffering in the world? etc). And it has given billions of followers of Jesus the confidence that their sins have been forgiven, their relationship with God has been restored, and that they will live forever in the presence of their Creator. But...

• Why should anyone take the Bible seriously?• Haven't the contents of the Bible been tampered with down through the centuries?• Aren't there scientific errors in the Bible?• What about the alleged contradictions in the Gospels?• What makes the Bible any different than the Quran or the Book of Mormon?

These are excellent questions! And there are good answers to them. In the resources below, Norman Geisler, Charlie Campbell, Ron Rhodes, and others address these questions, giving compelling evidence that the Bible is indeed what it claims to be, the divinely inspired, authoritative, trustworthy Word of God—written by men yes, but men who were guided by God as they penned its words (2 Peter 1:21, 2 Timothy 3:16, 1 Thessalonians 2:13)

Was the Bible written by deceitful men? Is the Bible out-of-sync with scientific discoveries? Has the Bible undergone corruption as it was translated down through the centuries? Are the persons, places and events mentioned in the Bible mythological? What sets the Bible apart from other religious writings like the Quran, Hindu Vedas, or Book of Mormon? Charlie Campbell has been researching answers to questions like these for more than twenty years. In this updated, expanded DVD he answers these questions as he builds a compelling ten-pronged case for the trustworthiness of the Bible. You’ll learn about:

Has the Bible been disproved by scientific discoveries? Is the Bible hopelessly out-of-date? Critics of Christianity say yes. But the evidence says no. In this 50-minute video, Charlie Campbell lays out a case for the scientific accuracy of the Bible by looking at several ancient revelations in the Bible that revealed amazing facts about the Earth and the universe thousands of years before the invention of telescopes, satellites, deep-diving submarines, and all the other technology that finally allowed scientists in the last century or two to verify these revelations were correct! This video will surely strengthen your confidence in the accuracy and trustworthiness of the Bible!

Is the Bible a collection of fables and myths? Are the persons, places, and events in the Bible just fabrications by deceitful men? Many critics of Christianity think so, but archaeological discoveries show otherwise. Over the past two centuries, archaeologists have made thousands of discoveries that have helped to verify the exact truthfulness of the Bible's detailed records of various events, customs, persons, cities, nations, and geographical locations. This DVD by Charlie Campbell will introduce you to several of these fascinating Bible-affirming finds, both old and new. Length: 53 minutes.

Can we trust the Bible? Isn’t the Bible just “ancient ﬁction” written by fallible, perhaps even deceitful men? Haven’t books of the Bible been lost and even tampered with down through the centuries? Isn’t the Bible out-of- sync with scientiﬁc discoveries? What about the apparent contradictions in the Bible? What makes the Bible any different than the Hindu Vedas, Quran, or Book of Mormon? Charlie Campbell has been researching answers to questions like these for nearly twenty-five years. It was his initial research that led him to become a follower of Jesus in 1990. In Scrolls & Stones he shares some of the evidence that changed his mind back then but also fascinating new discoveries...all confirming the reliability of the Bible. You’ll learn about:

Extrabiblical Historical Sources that Verify Biblical Events

Scientific Discoveries

Archaeological Evidence

Fulfilled Prophecies

Ancient Scrolls and Manuscripts

Answers to Skeptics’ Objections and Questions

And more!

Contains questions for further reflection and small group discussion. Also contains full subject index.

The authors of the Gospels stole their ideas for Jesus’ life from other ancient religions

The earliest Christians didn’t believe Jesus was God

The Gospels contradict one another

There are scientific errors in the Gospels

The “Gospel of Thomas” and the “Gospel of Judas” give us a more accurate understanding of who Jesus was

Accounts of Jesus’ miracles are fabrications

Charlie Campbell, an author and Christian apologist, responds to these charges and lays out a compelling case that Jesus really did exist and the Gospels are trustworthy accounts of His life (52 minutes).

One of the number one reasons nonbelievers give as to why they don’t believe the Bible is their belief that the Bible is “full of contradictions.” In this hour long DVD recorded at Calvary Chapel South Bay in southern California, Charlie Campbell examines seven popularly cited examples of contradictions in the Bible. After pointing out the apparent contradictions, Charlie demonstrates how the apparent difficulties are resolved and where the critics have erred. DVD length: 60 minutes This new edition was shot in a widescreen format and contains many of the images Charlie uses in his PowerPoint presentation.
